Yea its not in the wet as bad but still. How much are they per tyre any ideas? Just got yokos on the front but the a359s i think? not sure of the number but just these are better than the falkens especially in the dry.

midland wheel supplies = 44.00 (Yokohama A032R)

Turning the wheel and going straight on is also not very clever....
If you are talking about the A032's and A048's then the more 'slick' they get the worse they will be in the wet, as the groves are designed as water dispersal channels, without those you are basically aquaplaning (spelling?) everywhere, and I suspect that if you put him up against a standard tyre on a set track he'd be beaten hands down...
I know the thought of tyre smoke and noise is appealing, but I think you'll find driving smoothly, controlling the delivery of power, is a far quicker

yea i no this, it was pooring with rain thats what was causing it, in teh dry he can out corner any thing, he does no how to handle teh car as he is the fastest guy in teh club, he had a 998 wich thrashed 1275's and now he has got a 1275 in it and has put a 1380 to shame down the lanes! people tell hiom that his brake lights down work, but they do.Masses of wheel spin, and torque steer is not indicative of good traction, infact it's indicative of someone who does not know hoe to handle a car in the wet, sorry to say.
